Mike Heron and Georgia Seddon
Mike Heron and Georgia Seddon
Thursday 25th March. 8:00pm (doors open 7:00pm).
Long Gallery, Abbot House, Dunfermline
Tickets: £14. Available from Abbot House 733266 and Third Base Records 722554.
The founder member of the Incredible String Band, Mike Heron, will be coming to Dunfermline on Thursday 25th March to perform a concert in the Long Gallery in Abbot House. Formed in 1965, the ISB soon broke from the folk club beginnings they shared with Bert Jansch and Billy Connolly to pioneer an eclectic, ‘world music’ approach. This led to them being propelled into the Top 5 of the British charts behind the Beatles, Cream and the Rolling Stones. In total, they produced over 14 seminal albums and appeared at the famous Woodstock Festival in 1969.
Mike's solo album 'Smiling Men With Bad Reputations' - produced by Joe Boyd, originally released in 1971 and then reissued in 2003 - featured a once-in-a-lifetime stellar cast from the aristocracy of folk-pop-rock musicians, including Pete Townshend, Richard Thompson, Elton John, Jimmy Page, Steve Winwood, Keith Moon, Dave Pegg and Ronnie Lane.
Cited as “an inspiration and a sign” by Robert Plant, admired by artists as diverse as KLF and Paul McCartney, the ISB have always exerted an influence of legendary proportions that continues to this day.
Since the break-up of the ISB in 1974, Mike has continued to write songs in epic quantities (many re-released recently on the Glen Row Tapes CD) and has fronted a variety of bands, most recently his Incredible Acoustic Band. In the late 1990s he and Robin Williamson reformed the Incredible String Band for several years.
Mike's solo album 'Where the Mystics Swim' revealed a songwriter forever pushing the boundaries, but retaining his originality, creativity and musical integrity. In 2006 he was commissioned to write music for John Burnside's poem 'Song for Irena' as part of a poetry/music project entitled Ballads of the Book at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections. More recently he was invited to play at Sid Barrett's tribute in London; a testament to the groundbreaking role Mike has played in the British music scene over four decades.
Mike performs in a duo with his daughter Georgia (keyboards, percussion and vocals), whose own songwriting and performance has been described in a recent Scotsman review as “arrestingly artless" and "the nu-folk answer to Martha Wainwright". They have also performed at the Crossing Borders festival at The Hague, Holland, and an all-star Folk Britannia event at the Barbican. Their unique performances are a potent mix of new songs and much-requested ISB favourites.
Tickets priced £14 are on sale in Abbot House on 733266 and at Third Base Records on 722554.

Kassidy - EP and live dates
A few words from the very wonderful Kassidy:
"Recent signings to Vertigo, Glaswegian quartet Kassidy are unique and brilliant, an exceptional live band whose show on the new bands stage at T In The Park last July was a revelation!
Four-part harmonies, box drums and some of the best songs we’ve heard in a long time, this band is going to be enormous in 2010!
Their debut single, The Rubbergum EP, via King Tuts Records was launched with a sold out show at that legendary venue last month.
Now they’re working on their debut album with Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Kasabian).

OR £5 RIGHT NOW FOR BOTH LADIES AND GENTS FROM THE STORE AT HTTP://WWW.PINUP-NIGHTS.CO.UK OR TICKETS SCOTLAND
It’s February, so it must be time for a Pin Ups Ladies Night! This will be Ladies Night 3 and we think that it’s going to be the biggest and best one yet!
Our star live headliners are French Horn Rebellion ( http://www.frenchhornrebellion.com ). Robert and David are a shiny electropop duo from Brooklyn, New York, who came to our attention last autumn with their tremendous single “Up All Night”, which you might have heard being played all over Radio 1 and 6Music. Mixmag made it Electro Tune of the Month, Artrocker gave it 5 stars for its “sparkling synths and vocal bridges of epic scale” and to top things off Kitsune chose it for the highly prestigious opening slot on their latest Kitsuné Maison 8 Compilation. FHR are visiting Pin Ups as part of a UK tour to promote their new EP “Beaches and Friends”, out 1st March.
In support of FHR will be the sweet harmonic indiepop of Maple Leaves (fronted by Anna Miles - http://www.myspace.com/mapleleavesmusic) and a band that those in the know are calling "the best new band in Scotland" (!), Conquering Animal Sound ( fronted by Anneke Kampman - http://www.myspace.com/conqueringanimalsound ).
For Ladies Night 3 we’re also welcoming the most stellar cast of Guest DJs that Pin Up Nights has ever assembled! Tracyanne and Carey (Camera Obscura), Adele and Ailidh (Sons & Daughters), Emma Pollock (The Delgados), Emmy-Kate and Marie du Santiago (Kenickie), Manda Rin (Bis) and a very special “Hunky Secret Treat” (whose handsome identity we are keeping a closely guarded secret) will all be on the decks during the night to keep you on the dancefloor.
The first 100 ladies to arrive will receive a special Goody Bag, and we will also be once again be setting up a “Vintage Village” (this year with help from the Made in the Shade girls - http://www.wearemadeintheshade.com ) for stallholders selling jewellery, comics, vintage clothing, sweets and loads more.
Overseeing all the chaos and hilarity and filling in the gaps will be the Pin Ups DJs dressed in our best drag gear (joking - or are we..?) and all-lady DJ collective Bow Peep who, after entertaining the Kitchen at September’s Circus and Hogmanay, will be making their Main Room DJing debut!
As you can imagine this shindig is costing us a lot of cash to put together, but we still want to give everybody the best value we possibly can, while also giving ladies the fun and privilege of a discount on the entry fee. So we have come up with the following pricing (pay attention at the back):
1.There will be a strictly limited number of online FIVER tickets available, for ladies or gents, from the store at http://www.pinup-nights.co.uk .
2. After the strictly limited online £5 tickets are gone advance tickets will still available for both ladies and gents for £6, from both the store at http://www.pinup-nights.co.uk or Tickets Scotland. (The Hogmanay Ball was sold out by 10.30pm, so advance tickets might be necessary!)
3. Finally on the night we will charge £6 for ladies and £7 for gents.
(We hope you agree this is still amazing value for all the action involved!)
We’ll be updating the details of the night in the next few weeks so keep checking back!
Go snap up those £5 tickets!
Thanks, Pin Ups.x

The Ray Summers - Coming to a venue near you...
Alright man!
Just thought I'd give you a wee update on whit we're up to!
Following on from yesterday's announcement about more shows added to the tour with Kassidy, The Ray Summers are pleased to announce that they will headline King Tuts on Friday 9th April.
The band have played Tuts a number of times and will again take to the stage after 2 memorable sell outs, including the launch of their debut single on the famous venues's label, King Tuts recordings last August
Tickets are available from www.gigsinscotland.com /or the King Tuts bar
After a successful 2009 that has seen the band release 2 singles, an EP, appear at festivals and perform countless gigs around the UK. The band have started 2010 off with a bang by performing 3 shows in London in February, whilst also playing a number of shows in Scotland with Vertigo Records latest signing - Kassidy. Between these gigs the band have been in the studio laying down the tracks that will make up their debut album scheduled for release in the summer.
The Ray Summers saw in 2009 with Paolo Nutini and Idlewild in George Square. They then went on to release their first EP in April with a full UK tour to mark this including a date at the Camden Crawl. Sessions followed on Radio 1, Northsound, TayFM and various student stations.
The Summer saw them taking to the stages at T in The Park, Rock Ness, The Edge, Wizard, Hinterland, Liverpool Sound City, Go North, Electric Bay and Perth Music Festivals.
King Tuts Recordings released debut single 'The Shepherd' in August and it charted at number 8 in the Scottish charts outselling Beyonce!
King Tuts Recordings released debut single 'The Shepherd' in August and it charted at number 8 in the Scottish charts outselling Beyonce!
In The City in Manchester asked the band to play 2 shows, both ended up rammed and have been good for the bands profile.
2nd single 'Zagora Road' was released in November with a show at Glasgow's Oran Mor. On the same night the band played a special full band acoustic set that shows the amazing talent this band has.
The Ray Summers are looking forward to releasing their third single in April with the launch at King Tuts.

Raymy - Are You Experienced Jimmy
Yes, he's back!
"hi folks and a belated happy new year to y'all.Hope all those ridiculous resolutions have been binned already! Needless to say i'm punting a new cd,called ARE YOU EXPERIENCED JIMMY...it was originally goin to be two seperate cds but production costs are getting silly,so i've put the two together.A double album essentially.25 tracks or thereabouts,all new material including the SCOTT HARRISON HOKEY COKEY,72 VIRGINS CANT BE WRONG and BIG MATCH UPDATE,my first attempt at a football song (no,you wont be hearing it at your local stadium for reasons that will soon be apparent!).Sleeve pic attached with this email...go on,frighten the dog!
I'm still trying to keep the price of these cds down,so it's selling for £3.50 or so. Email me if you want a copy or maybe easier thru eBay.Whatever,thanks for your continued interest.
Anon...Raymy"
